The PMO may change the requested quantity for any line items on the plan. Quantity

plan is APPROVED and you will not have to justify items that are on your Acquisition Plan.
Reject instructions are on the next page.

be found in the “Create Plan” module once again. The State will have all the options previously outlined to resubmit with
the addition of the comment box being added by the rejecting Region. It should contain guidance on updates needed
before resubmitting. The process is repeated until approved.
